[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ED looks like it gives a big boost. But for T20 and top SLACs, I don't think it does much for most applicants. Many ED acceptances are reserved for athletes.[/quote] You'd be wrong about the proper universities. They often take roughly 50 percent of their class in the ED round. Find me the athletes at the University of Chicago. The prestigious D1 schools are big enough that the athletic recruits aren't a big deal. Even the bigger sports schools - Duke, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame - are big enough where it doesn't really impact admissions. Those students are put in a different pile. Little Jimmy is not competing for a spot at Duke with a basketball recruit. But you'd be right about the SLACs. Williams is nearly 40 percent recruited athletes. Others are similar. Only low-information applicants would waste an ED app on a SLAC. ED and athletes are a completely different game at liberal arts colleges. [/quote]
